“wonderful little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2012

Very friendly staff, extremely comfortable. It is at the quiet end of Cannery Bay so one can sleep to just the lapping of the waves and odd bark of a seal. a 10 minute walk to the Aquarium and all the restaurants one might want to try out. Complimentary Wifi worked fine for checking mail.
We will definetly come back and stay here again!

“Best Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2012

We had a fabulous time at the Monterey Bay Inn. Monterey is one of our most loved places to stay. This was our first time at the Monterey Bay Inn and it was perfect. The place is beautiful and the staff is wonderful, so warm and friendly. It was our 43rd anniversary and they made it such a special occasion. We will definitely stay here again and would hightly recommend it to anyone.

Room Tip: We had room 309.

“Excellent room, service, and Hot Tub”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2012

Terrific hotel, comfortable rooms. Best part is the hot tub on the 4th floor overlooking the ocean.
There are issues with wifi on mobile devices (my iPad and my husband's iPod touch) but our laptops picked up the signal no problem. Trouble shooted Internet issue directly with service provider but it was still a low signal on above mentioned devices.

Room Tip: Get a room on the 4th floor so you're closer to the hot tub.

Beautiful rooms and views. Breakfast was always on time. Staff was friendly and courteous. The aquarium package was a great deal and within walking distance.

“Comfortable and relaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our room was comfortable and spacious with a view across the harbour with the morning sun shining into our room. Good location for seeing Monterey. Lots of great golf courses nearby.
